‘Super-fast’ internet to reach more homes

Super-fast broadband access will roll out to more Wokingham homes over the next year under a £2.5 billion upgrade project.

BT has announced nearly 274,000 more homes and businesses in the South East will benefit from plans to upgrade 42 exchange areas in the region, including Spencers Wood and Eversley.

The latest phase, which will be complete by autumn next year, will take the total number of South East homes and businesses able to access super-fast broadband to more than 1.5 million.

John Weaver, BT’s South East regional director, said: “This latest investment in super-fast broadband is great news for many homes and businesses in the south east.

“Fibre broadband has the power to revolutionise the way we use the internet. It has huge implications for the way we live, learn and do business, with massive opportunities for entertainment, education and entrepreneurs.”
